He can and will use any stat he can to back up whatever point he's supposed to push. Again, anyone that was paying attention to his AK-schtick pre-NJ trade rumor (Carmello edition, 2010 offseason) and during knows exactly how fast and how easy it is for him to switch gears.

I'm pretty sure Locke doesn't like Big Al. There's like only 1 stat that Locke likes of Big Al's and that's clutchness....Big Al shows up badly in Locke Ratings. He's like a bench-big according to Locke ratings.
Locke wants to keep his job and feed his family, so he acts like he likes infamous players. Blame the Jazz, not Locke.

Blame Locke if you don't like his voice, stats, or the way he says 'essence' all the time.
I'm pretty sure his bias doesn't really come from himself....it's an employee enforced bias and rightfully so- the Jazz want all their pieces to look good in the Jazz media. If not, we can't get a good trade value out of them.

I, HeavenHarris, hereby pledge to my fellow JFC'rs that I will no longer give out neg-reps. All it does is cause negative things, like fights, drama, bitching, ill will, bad feelings, etc.
Love, not hate, is the answer bros and moes.
LOL Lol breaks his pledge 5 days later hahahaha

The Jazz Media is able to make crap look like gold. No freedom of opinion, no freedom of speech: do what they want or you will lose your job. No critics allowed. I would have a hard time being a sports journalist in Utah or in some other small markets. Sometimes you have to be a bada** in order to force your team to get better. I mean, you have to be allowed to criticize if you think you are right. It's so boring to hear the same things over and over again...

Locke's fine, honestly. I like that he's created a job for himself and has sort of cultivated a hardcore fan base around the jazz. People hate locke because they're convinced Jefferson is the devil (he's not), and so Locke reacts by overselling Jefferson as god. It upsets people because Hayward is the only god and fallenchicken is his messenger.

The only thing that annoys me about him is his writing. It's like he doesn't proof-read. I know he's probably in a hurry to get his "Empty The Noggin" up so he can go home, but it's like trying to decipher a 10th grader's review of a book he only read the footnotes for.

At what point does his love for Jefferson and Millsap fade? At what point is he told his metrics and formulas don't matter and are wrong.
As the guy in Happy Gilmore would say..... jackass

They change once Jefferson or Millsap are traded or if the FO decides NOT to offer either one a contract. Then Locke is told to find (or given) reasons why the changes have been made. Face it, in Utah, the media is owned by the team. Locke works for the Jazz. If he says ANYTHING critical, he'll find himself with much less access to the FO and players. It's sad, but Locke has to ensure his survival.

I wish someone would have the cajones to stand up and criticize the Jazz organization. A subpar product is being trotted out there every night and without criticism, without accountability, there's simply no impetus for change. My wish would be for the Jazz to make the playoffs, but have less than 15K seats filled. Have the fans show Miller and KOC that simply showing up isn't good enough any more.
